   My experience at COBC. When going to COBC, my experience can only be summarised In one word. ‘Something’ My main issue, Is the facilities. At times It’s unequipped and constantly going underworks, and unnecessary changes being made to the college. One of the pipes was busted and I had water drop onto my shoulder. Which Is unknown where or what pipe it comes from making me feel nauseated and disgusted. I do feel as the staff here, aren’t the best. But they also aren’t the worst. However, I feel like some staff can have better feedback then others. I would not go to this college again, If I knew what It was like. Unhappy with facilities.

   I visited the college this week, not with a view to study there, but to meet with students and staff, to discuss other issues. There a car park around the corner; a little of the expensive side (£10 for 4 hours), but there were spaces, and it is a short walk to the college. Inside the building they have a security barrier, and you need to create a visitors badge before you can get in. I found the reception staff quite helpful. The internal decoration seems a bit basic, but there are colourful signs to help direct you in central areas, if not in all locations. As a visitor, I was escorted to the relevant floor & room. It did seem that we were taking a longer route than necessary, which subsequently proved to be the case. I can imagine that even those that had been there a while might still struggle to navigate the corridors. They seem to have a lot of equipment available, and it all appears to be suitable for the task and working as it should. I found the students to be really engaged, thoughtful, and willing to listen. It was a diverse audience, and a pleasure to work with them.

   **Adult full time learners and neurodivergent folk ** be aware that you will not be supported at Bristol Parkway motor school. The environment is not set up to support sensory/social needs in any way shape or form and no funding is available to support adults. No quiet space is offered, you will be expected to use the busy library to get away from people and be expected to wear noise cancelling headphones during lectures. The college is not set up to support people with additional needs and the senior manager isn't interested in hearing feedback or taking responsibility for improving this. Much of the workshop equipment is damaged beyond repair and the college is very reluctant to spend money on providing new learning equipment. I have reported all of this but have been met with denial and excuses. At no point has the college reflected on or acknowledged the impact this has had on me. Think very carefully before handing any money over, maybe opt for the installments if you're going to risk it as you will not receive a refund if you leave, regardless of circumstances. It was not made clear to me before payment that I would receive a different level of support than other students, had I known, I wouldn't have continued with enrolment and lost my money.

   Great variety of courses, good support team however can be a challenge to access the support. Clean and tidy, good library for non-fiction resources to use for coursework.

   I was appalled by the rudeness of the receptionist. I called to ask informations about an appointment. While speaking with them, I had to ask to repeat time self once again, so she scoffed and repeated with a raises voice, then I thanked her even if they didn’t deserved it and they just hang up without saying a word. Is it ok to be treated like this.
